Can I bypass the rheostat/dimmer on my 2004 Toyota Camry? I believe the rheostat is burned out and before I replace it I'd like to still have dash lights.

Ok, when the headlights are on either turned on manually or automatically by the dusk sensor, nighttime, the dash lights pass through the dimmer. If headlights are off, (not counting DRL's) the dash lights are on, for daytime bright, and don't pass through the dimmer, not adjustable. My point being is that if the instrument cluster lights are off in daytime the dimmer is not the problem. After being in there, doing the audio system work, you may accidentally knocked off a ground..or something

Turn switch on soon lights on Hot lead çomes from headlight switch
